Guys,
In about 6 weeks we should know the full roster. That's crazy

All hell is going to break loose.

And I'll be laughing the entire time.

Spoiler

Unless Ridley is a boss, in which case I'll be crying.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Guys,
In about 6 weeks we should know the full roster. That's crazy

it's exactly 7 weeks today, but yeah.

 

[justchris]

We have no idea what their budget was or if it would have been exactly what they needed to make one game.

Say Wii U game costs (making up really bad numbers here) 50 million, 3DS costs 30 Million, they get exactly 80 million to make it, then whatever. But say they were making JUST the Wii U version, we don't know if they would have been given more than 50 million or JUST the 50 million. IF and only IF it would have been more than my imaginary 50 million, then 3DS is technically taking away resources from a 'more content' wii u version, but we don't know whether they would have been given more money or not.

Right, the same way we don't know the exact size of the development team. I really hope they do an Iwata Asks for both games, would be interesting to find out some of this stuff. Did Masked Man ever translate any of Sakurai's other Famitsu articles?

 

[SmithnCo]

Takamaru's game finally coming to US, woo.

 

[StayDead]

it's exactly 7 weeks today, but yeah.

I've got the eshop open on my Japanese 3DS ready for the purchase (may not be true)

Probably sooner, honestly.

Pretty amazing to see NOA play takamaru (not the real name I know) on livestream! Wow.

 

[Ahnez]

From yesterday's tournament:

"Just as planned"

 

[User 73706]

Is he still called Takamaru in the US?

Is it still Mysterious Murasame Castle in the US?

 

[Golnei]

Is he still called Takamaru in the US?

Is it still Mysterious Murasame Castle in the US?

I'd assume it'd be a similar version of the game to the one on the EU Virtual Console; which had barely any changes.

 

[SmithnCo]

Is he still called Takamaru in the US?

Is it still Mysterious Murasame Castle in the US?

In Nintendoland he was called Takamaru.

 

[Cody_D165]

Takamaru's chance for Smash lives on.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Sakurai deemed Takamaru's gameplay to be very similar comparing to Greninja's so he decided to cut him out and replaced him with Lucina.

RIP Takamaru

 

[Ahnez]

Eh.. What happened?

I can't watch right now.

Thank Arseeus.

RIP Takamaru

Takamaru is greninja clone!

He throws knives, like sheik, uses smoke bombs like sheik, uses a katana like greninja p), and throws shuriken like mii brawler.

Becoming invisible would be a neat mechanic, though, since that item is seemingly gone.

 

[SmithnCo]

Eh... What happened?

I can't watch right now.

They are playing Murasame Castle and said the date for when it releases in NA. Thus, Takamaru speculation.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

so wheres that surprise guise?

 

[-Horizon-]

Eh.. What happened?

I can't watch right now.

They're playing that Murasame Castle game that has Takamaru which will be available next month on the 3DS eshop.

 

[Frolow]

it's exactly 7 weeks today, but yeah.

I'm accounting for leaks from review copies which will probably happen.

 

[Crocodile]

so wheres that surprise guise?

There have been quite a few surprises honestly. Nobody said they would be Smash related or be big enough to crash GAF though

 

[Azure J]

Is he still called Takamaru in the US?

Is it still Mysterious Murasame Castle in the US?

Yes and yes.

Sakurai deemed Takamaru's gameplay to be very similar comparing to Greninja's so he decided to cut him out and replaced him with Lucina.

RIP Takamaru

That's it, Heath is off the Takamaru Squad. I'll be taking that leadership title as well as Neorice's avatar should he show up.

 

[IntelliHeath]

From top of my head, reviewers haven't leaked anything for Brawl.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Yes and yes.

That title belongs to me. :3

Spoiler

Well, Takamaru confirmed

NOOOO!! ;_;

Okay, I'm going to commit a sukendo.

Spoiler

I'm scared to get my hype too high for Takamaru, and I'm not giving up on Neorice's avatar. NOOOO!

My memory might be off, but I remember forums going nuts about Brawl's leaked roster a few days before the Japanese launch. Could be wrong though.

 

[Kouichi]

Hey August 7th is on a Thursday.

#TakamaruThursday

 

[IntelliHeath]

My memory might be off, but I remember forums going nuts about Brawl's leaked roster a few days before the Japanese launch. Could be wrong though.

Oh yeah. It was the games that got sold early, and I think Hong Kong store sold the game early as well.

 

[Loco4Coco]

This nonsense about Takamaru again? Why can't you guys have realistic ideals for smash like Mickey Mouse or Halo?

Shush, Loco4Coco. All about Hypes.

Stop being cranky

Isn't Halo in? Halo and Halo's girlfriend Metroid got confirmed ages ago. Get with the times man.

 

[Frolow]

That was probably it. Still, there's no way Smash 4 doesn't get anything leaked before the release date. Be it review copies, broken street dates, or whatever.

 

[JStein0222]

Lol at the SDCC surprise being that there is no surprise

 

[PadWarrior]

Can't wait to see the rage over no reveals lol.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Lol at the SDCC surprise being that there is no surprise

Not surprised

That was probably it. Still, there's no way Smash 4 doesn't get anything leaked before the release date. Be it review copies, broken street dates, or whatever.

The text leaks usually happens a month before the release date or so. I'm looking forward to see people digging through the rumors.

They need to put Woody and Buzz in. They are the best Pixar reps you could choose!

 

[Neiteio]

Takamaru's Final Smash will be making Eric from the Treehouse rage into a face-cam

 

[Cody_D165]

Lol at the SDCC surprise being that there is no surprise

I was surprised at the NES Remix retail package and Mysterious Murasame Castle both coming to NA.

 

[trutrutru]

I talked about that really early in my previous comment, i said:

"2. because of the brawl air-dodge (you dont fall after using it in the air) you cant just jump off stage and expect to hit them while they are coming back. They can air dodge."

The new edge mechanic prevents you from, what you call, edge hogging. The brawl air dodge makes the option of jumping of stage "limited".

Again... In Smash bros you fight in a floating platform for a reason, but now the game prevents you from taking advantage from it. Is not that theres not edge-guarding, its that is really limited.

Also, obviously, i am going to agree with you that its early because the game is not even out. I just wanted to say that, if the game doesnt change...

I still think its too early to tell. We dont know just how effective or inneffective jumping out would be, especially when some characters are being given tools specifically for that.

For example: fox is no longer put in a falling state after forward b. Meaning he can use it to get out there, attack, and come back.
Even with the brawl air dodge, you could just bait out a dodge and punish.

The difference with brawl, is that because edge hogging, there was no need to develop any strategies for actually chasing someone out there. Now people will either have to develop a way to do that, or risk opponents coming back on stage. Basically punishing you for playing it safe
